Sounds ideal, where do you get a fox whistle from?

G’Day All, I went out today off Edithvale for a fish for the first time in 2 months. My partner and I were happily fishing about 1-1.5km offshore (directly opposite the Life Saving Club) when a huge motor cruiser (40-50’) came directly at us at, what I would estimate at about 25 knots. We waved padd...

Fished Coronet Bay on Saturday and Monday. A little bit of wind about, but a great place to launch and retrieve the kayaks. We didn’t go too far out (as far as the channel marker) and picked up a couple of whiting and fought the battle with hungry leather jackets! Overall the leather jackets won the...

Thanks Cheater

Cheater,

thanks for the tips on the other places to try. We’ll have to give them a go some other time. What are the best rigs, for off Cowes? If current and tides are pretty fast, do we need a lot of lead on the bottom?

Thanks for the advice. Certainly got sick of Jet Skis at Rye during the Australia Day long weekend...

G’day, I’m pretty new to kayaking and have been out a couple of times in Port Phillip Bay for a paddle and fish. My partner and I have a Seabird Expedition and Discovery kayak, with one rod holder each. It’s certainly a challenge when we get a fish, but we manage to get them in. We’re heading to Cow...
